I tend to carry a few quick draws and alpine slings (doubled not tripled like most). That gives me 4 possible lengths to clip into 1 straight onto the piece, 2 quick draw, 3 alpine doubled, or 4 alpine fully extended. Yes, this does create a girth hitch when you extend them that way but honestly most cases I just leave it girthed and if I feel it is needed I will take a biner off and clip it back in ungirthed.
